The block provides 1, 2, or 4 counters of differing complexity: Four identical, independent simple counters Two identical independent counters of moderate complexity One complex counter Direct processing means that the block is able to sense inputs, count, and respond with outputs, without needing to communicate with a CPU.

Refer to GFK-0867 for product standards and general specifications.

High-speed Counter Block

June 2002 GFK-0367E The block may be powered by 115 VAC or 10 to 30 VDC. Auxiliary DC power can be used when the main power to the block is supplied by 115 VAC. Both 115 VAC and DC power may be supplied simultaneously and if the 115 VAC source fails, the block will continue to operate on the DC backup power. Any DC source that can provide an output in the range of 10 VDC to 30 VDC can be used. The source must meet the specifications listed in the table on page 1 of this datasheet. With both AC and DC power applied, block power will be taken from the AC input as long as the DC voltage is less than 20 volts. The block is configured for the application to function in one of the following ways: as four 16-bit counters. Each of the four may independently count either up or down. This block configuration is referred to as Type A. as two 24-bit counters. Each may independently operate in Up/Down, Pulse/Direction, or A Quad B mode. This configuration is referred to as Type B. as one 24-bit differential counter, which can operate in Up/Down, Pulse/Direction, or A Quad B mode. This is referred to as Type C configuration. The blocks outputs can be programmed to turn on or off when the accumulated count reaches appropriate Preset values, as shown by the following example.

Using this Datasheet _________________________

This datasheet summarizes information about block installation, configuration, and diagnostics. Your primary reference should be the Discrete and Analog Blocks Users Manual. It includes detailed instructions for block installation and configuration. For additional information about systems and communications, including bus specifications, refer to the I/O System and Communications Manual.

Compatibility ________________________________
This block requires Hand-held Monitor version 3.5 (IC66*HHM501D) or later. HHM version 4.0 or later is required to use all the features described in this datasheet. For the IC600 series PLC, bus controller version IC66*CBB902G or IC66*CBB903G or later is required for blocks assigned to I/O references, to assure data coherency. For blocks assigned to register memory, earlier versions of bus controllers IC66*CBB902 and IC66*CBB903 can be used. Bus controllers IC66*CBB900 and IC66*CBB901 cannot be used with a High-speed Counter.

Block Operation _____________________________

The High-speed counter block accepts 12 input signals, and provides 4 output signals for counter operations.

Each output has a response delay of 1ms maximum; repeatability is 0.5ms or less. The commanded state of each output is shown by an individual LED on the block. Outputs may be forced on or off using the Hand-held Monitor, or by command from the application program. This is useful during installation and checkout. Each output has built-in electronic protection against short circuits. If an output is commanded to turn on and the current through the switch exceeds 4 Amps for a period of 1 millisecond, the block automatically shuts off the switch and generates a FAILED SWITCH diagnostic. Short circuit protection protects the block if loads are 4 Amps or more. Each output on the block can source a maximum of 0.5 Amps. Switching of loads between 0.5 Amps and 4 Amps is shown below.
Current (Amps) 3.0 2.0 1.0 0.5

Inputs can be used for count signals, direction, disable, edgesensitive strobe, and other inputs. Outputs can be used to drive indicating lights, solenoids, relays, and other devices. Each output has a response delay of 1ms maximum; repeatability is 0.5ms or less. Each output circuit provides built-in protection against power surges caused by wiring errors. The block also provides a +5 volt DC output and a CMOS/TTLcompatible oscillator output. The blocks Counts Per Timebase register indicates the number of counts in a programmable time interval. For each counter, this is a 16-bit signed number. The sign indicates net up counts (+) or down counts (-) in the time period.

Installation Instructions _______________________

Carefully inspect all shipping containers for damage. If any equipment is damaged, notify the delivery service immediately. Save the damaged shipping container for inspection by the delivery service. After unpacking the equipment, record all serial numbers. Save the shipping containers and packing material in case it is necessary to transport or ship any part of the system.

Inserting an Electronics Assembly

1. Align the Electronics Assembly in the guides and push down firmly. Caution Do not exert excessive force; it may damage the block. 2. If unusual resistance is met, remove the Electronics Assembly. If power is applied to the block, DO NOT TOUCH THE CONNECTOR PINS! Inspect the Terminal Assembly, connector receptacle, and connector edge board (on the Electronics Assembly). Be sure the keying matches. Remove any obstacles and reinsert the Electronics Assembly. Pay close attention to the alignment of the guide pins. Secure the Electronics Assembly with the screws on the top and bottom of the Terminal Assembly.

Block Mounting
Genius I/O blocks are considered "open equipment" and therefore must be installed within a protective enclosure. They should be located in an area that is clean and free of airborne contaminants. There should be adequate cooling airflow. The block can be mounted right side up, or upside down. Leave at least 2 inches of space between blocks. Mount the block by drilling two screw or bolt holes for 8-32 hardware. Position the block so that the notches in the upper and lower flanges line up with the mounting holes. Mount the block using 8-32 screws. Use star washers to provide ground integrity. 3.

Grounding
The blocks mounting screws must not be used as the only means of grounding the block. Connect the green ground screw on the block to a reliable ground system using a short wire lead, minimum size AWG #12 (avg 3.3mm2 in cross-section). Warning If mounting screws do not make good ground connection and the ground screw is not connected to a reliable ground, the block is not grounded. Electrical shock hazard exists. Death or personal injury may result.

Note: If the Electronics Assembly has been removed from a block for some length of time, contaminants may have built up on the exposed connector pins. After the block is reassembled, these contaminants could affect the accuracy of measurements. When reassembling the block, push the Electronics Assembly in and out a few times to assure a fresh mating surface.

High-speed Counter Block

June 2002 GFK-0367E Any 10 to 30 VDC source can be used. With both AC and DC power applied, block power will be taken from the AC input as long as the DC voltage is less than 20 volts. Above 20 volts, block power is drawn from the DC input, even if AC power is still applied. Connect the AC source to the Hot and Neutral terminals. Connect the DC backup to DC+ and DC-. The following illustration shows connections for AC block power with DC backup, and output power from the blocks 5-volt output (see Output Power Connections ).

Wiring for Block Power _______________________

The block may be powered by 115VAC (at 60mA typical) or 10VDC to 30VDC (at 250mA typical). If the block is powered by an AC source, DC power can also be applied as a backup.

AC Block Power
For an AC power source, connect the HOT lead to the terminal. Connect neutral to the N terminal. If Class 1 Division 2 conditions must be met for Factory Mutual, install an external 250-volt 1/8 Amp slow-blow fuse in series with the H terminal.

Output Power Connections

The blocks four outputs (O1 through O4) require a 5VDC to 30VDC source. If logic-level signals are needed for the outputs and their total load will not be more than 200mA, the blocks +5V output can be used as the power source. Output power can also come from the same DC source used for block power, or a separate DC power source.

AC Block Power with DC Backup

When using AC power, DC power input may also be connected as a backup.

Configuration _______________________________
First, the block must be configured with a Hand-held Monitor to: Enter its Device Number (serial bus address). Enter its Reference Number (required only for IC600 and IC550 series PLCs only). Enter its counter type (A, B, or C). Note: If a block is configured offline, it must be properly grounded and have a 75 Ohm resistor installed across its Serial 1 and Serial 2 terminals. See the High-speed Counter Users Manual for instructions. The rest of the features can be configured either using a Hand-held Monitor, or by sending a Write Configuration datagram to the block from the host. Note: If the counter is operating at a count rate of 150KHz or higher, run-time configuration changes should be made using a Hand-held Monitor.
